Rose In Fist

So RIF has become kinda pointless for me of late. I'll be working to move content into Penguin Pride and AaronDandrea.com.

Basically, ever since I switched servers in 2008, content I would have put on RIF has been thrown to other sites, mostly the all-purpose Penguin Pride site, which is soon to expand into videos, polls, and a separate section for drafts (so I don't have to spend money on another draft site; I already host DraftBattle for a friend).

The ACLU was originally founded to protect the rights of immigrants who were being mass deported because they were suspected of leftist tendencies in the early 1920's. So, it should come as no surprise that the ACLU still works hard to protect the rights of immigrants and to help make sure they are given the rights they deserve under the Constitution. The stance of the ACLU is that all persons and not just citizens are protected under the Constitution and that is how the Founding Fathers intended.

President Obama has a plan for increasing our energy production levels to meet growing demand, while at the same time reducing the use of fuels that emit greenhouse gases as well as our dependence on foreign oil. The plan, "New Energy for America," has several goals. One is to increase the amount of energy generated from renewable sources, such as wind and solar power, to 10% in four years and 25% in sixteen. Another point is the investment of $150 billion in new ventures that will produce this cleaner energy.

The article "The United States of America" by Butler is not consistent with the ideology of Rose In Fist. However, we promote free thought, so it can still be read here.

Since the December 2008 coup that brought Camara to power, the question remains: will he be a transitional leader as he claims, or just another dictator?

Communism can't work, right?

But I have this theory that we could take some (50-100) people who were 5's and 6's on the Kohlberg scale of moral development, buy some land somewhere, and start a commune as an independent country.
The things it would have to have would be:

1. Diversity in skill

Yesterday, an old friend, Rudolf Marr, brought to my attention the program of the National Bolshevik Party (NBP). I am very impressed with the ideas presented to me. Many I had not even considered. However, I must disagree on one point.

I believe the presidents of the United States need a modern ranking. Individual analyses are to follow.

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Franklin D. Roosevelt
3. George Washington
4. Teddy Roosevelt
5. Harry Truman
6. Andrew Jackson
7. Thomas Jefferson
8. Woodrow Wilson
9. Ronald Reagan
10. Lyndon B. Johnson
11. Grover Cleveland
12. James K. Polk
13. Bill Clinton
14. James Monroe
15. William McKinley
16. Dwight D. Eisenhower
17. James Madison
18. Jimmy Carter
19. John Adams
20. James A. Garfield
21. Andrew Johnson
22. John F. Kennedy
23. Martin Van Buren
24. Calvin Coolidge

The Forms of Governments used today are excellent. At least most of them are. I would like to submit, however, a new type on this Day, April 23, 2005.

The Name I have given for this particular Form of Government is Dandreism. It is similar in concept to Parliamentary Democracy, without the Legislative Body in control of the Military and neither is the Prime Minister. Rather, a popularly elected President controls the Military, but almost nothing else.

In the early 1800’s, the number of blacks in America was increasing. Some white leaders thought it was increasing too fast. In 1790, the number of free blacks in America was 59,467. But in 1810, it had increased to 186,446. They would often assist in slave rebellions, which angered the American leaders. They thought the best solution was to ship the free blacks back to Africa. So, in 1816, the American Colonization Society (ACS) was founded by John Randolph, Henry Clay, and Charles F. Mercer.
